George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time." All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.

Cold Day In Port Loring And New Book is Coming Along.

Well still cold here hovered around 14 degrees here all week.  Working away here on the upcoming new book.  Lots to do but enjoying it.  Take each day at a time as if I was looking at the whole picture it would just overwhelm me too much.  My wife too has been busy working on all the sketches for the book which in itself is a huge project but as me she takes it as it and enjoys it as it comes.  Great team we are huh?

Just Working Away On My New Book

Well been steadily working away here on my second book.  Starting to take shape finally, but still lots to do.  Lot of folks don’t realize just how much goes into the making of a book, especially if one does it all themselves.  Well I am far from doing it by myself, as I got my wife busy with sketches and my two sons working in the back ground.  Lots to be done, but through out these cold winter days, what better time could there be, than sitting in looking out and enjoying life.  Isn’t that what life is suppose to be all about?  Talk Soon

Second Book Is Coming Along

Well been steadily working here on my second book these days and got to say it’s been going along pretty good. My two sons have been there for me helping when asked, which is a good thing.  I know it would never get finished if it wasn’t for them.  For most parts I am into editing every day and entering them into the right foremat. My wife is steadily working on the sketches for the inside which consists of around sixty. One for each story.  She finished up the front cover today. Sketched it yesterday and painted it today. Looks really good. Can’t show you as of yet keeping it a secret till spring.  So being so cold outside these days it feels right to be inside looking out.  Talk Soon.

Cold Day Here In Port Loring, But Nice

Well cool morning here again. Down to 20 degrees old scale.  Was up through the night stoking the old wood furnace and enjoying every minute of it.  One thing about having the furnace we have, is that the wood is all inside your home nice and dry and easy to get at. So just need to pull on my slippers, no need to dress with coat and boots and strug off to the outside furnace through the snow and cold night air. Could never understand why anyone would even buy one of those things. Well I guess I know, their insurance brokers push it and that’s the reason for most thinking on the subject.  I figure it this way. If we did every thing the insurance brokers told us to do why would one even need insurance.  Well, as I have always said,  it all boils down to money and they sure are making it, hand over fist.  But all things come to an end, even for them, as we are seeing now.  So guess I will go and have a tea, and get back to doing what I love. Enjoy your day. Talk Soon.

Second Snow Fall Over Night

Well had our second snow fall for this Fall. Darn cold out there this morning as down to 20 degrees.  Had about four inches of the white stuff.  Sure looks pretty out there though with the snow making the branches on our huge pines just hang.  Good to be alive and kickin.  Talk Soon
